LiveLight (Fiber Optic)

The LiveLight tool can be used to evaluate cable attenuation over time.

Figure 59 - LiveLight Start Screen

LiveLight shows a diagram of Attenuation (db) over Time (s). As with the cable test

you should set a reference before starting the test. The limit value and the test
duration can be set before the test starts. Individual fiber connections (Fiber

1/Fiber 2) can be tested by selecting the cable to be tested under the Fiber View
option.
